    DEVICE CONNECTIONS and FEATURES: TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Link Down If a link goes down the first thing to do is run the discov- ery tool from both sides of the network. The discovery tool should be able to discover both units from each side of the link. If it can see the local unit but not the remote unit then the wireless link is down or the remote unit is down.
  • Page 12 Next, make sure there haven’t been any changes to line of sight like new trees or buildings or vehicles. Line of sight issues can usually be helped by moving the antenna to a new location with better line of sight. If signal level is good (between –35 and –75dBm) try changing the wire- less channel on the AP unit.
  • Page 13 • Make sure both antennas have clear line of sight. If the antennas are already installed, make sure they are not behind a glass win- dow or any sort of obstruction. • If your set up involves a second router on the remote/receiving end, make sure that the LAN port of side B’s PoE inserter is connected to the LAN port of the router.

  • Page 15 FAQs ® How do I use the EZ-Bridge AC as a Wi-Fi Access Point in addition to the point to point bridge function? If you need wireless access in addition to the point to point bridge func- tionality, it can be accomplished using the dual radio in the EZ-Bridge AC.
  • Page 16 ® Can I use multiple EZ-Bridge s in the same network? The EZ Bridge antennas connect via their ESSID, so having 2 or more pairs of EZ Bridge with the same ESSID in the same network would cause issues. We suggest making these adjustments one pair at a time. Power down the second pair when making adjustments to the first pair.
